2. Add the fruit vinegar and water, mix together using a hand mixer.
3. Thoroughly knead the dough one final time.
4. Grease the bread pan with a bit of oil and add your dough.
5. Sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds over the loaf and it’s off into the (cold, not yet heated) oven.
6. Set your oven to 400°F and let the bread bake for around 50 minutes. The time it takes your oven to warm up is enough to let the dough rise.
